STAAR Mathematics Resources

In April 2012, the State Board of Education (SBOE) revised the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for mathematics. The
SBOE specified that districts implement the new standards in K–8
classrooms in the 2014–2015 school year and the
new high school standards in 2015–2016.

The Student Assessment
Division of TEA, in coordination with the Curriculum Division, convened
advisory committees in October 2013 to make recommendations about the
implementation of the new TEKS in the STAAR mathematics assessments.

Please
note that changes to STAAR mathematics assessments will not go into
effect until the scheduled implementation of the new curriculum.
